Public Art In Transit

The Permanent Collection

The Public Art in Transit program expresses Metro Transit's commitment to excellence. Metro Transit encourages creativity and innovation in all things, including art in its public places. The integrated public art program supports function with forms that may inspire discovery in otherwise predictable spaces.

Metro Transit is home to one of the largest collections of public art in the Upper Midwest. To learn about Metro Transit's Public Art Collection (the artwork, the artists and their history), click on the following links:

Public Art Survey

In 2017, Metro Transit conducted a survey on the impact of its public art collection. The survey was filled out by just under 1,500 people. Respondents were our Go-To Card holders and followers of our Facebook page. The survey contained ten questions with yes/no or multiple-choice answers. View the survey results.
